I usually enjoy very early mornings with sun to take loon photos. Cloudy days create a moody image but with limited color as this shot. In this case, I selectively increased the saturation about 20% for the eye.

Jeff,

I really like the pose, with the underwing visible and wing spread. I see what you mean about the light, but at least you got it sharp. There seems to be a bit of a halo.. esp around and under the head. Pretty good depth of field @ f8. The eye might be a bit overdone for me.. with the subdued light it looks a little scary, but it might just be on my monitor. A nice loon shot!
